More about the book

The exploits of Yuri Gagarin, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong ignited a worldwide obsession with futuristic living, but where did it all go? Intense optimism for a space-age future invaded every aspect of design, from fashion and furniture to architecture and typography. But, all of a sudden, it vanished, and euphoria about the future gave way to anxiety. Where's My Space Age? charts the rise and fall of the space age aesthetic and highlights a trend among contemporary artists to question this deceptively complex period. A unique examination of a fascinating era, Where's My Space Age? is one giant leap into a world of nostalgia.Featured artists and designers Joe Colombo, Verner Panton, Quasar Khanh, Eero Saarinen, AJS Aerolande, Pierre Cardin, Courreges, Paco Rabanne, Frutiger, Haus-Rucker-Co, Archigram, Matti Suuronen, Jean Maneval, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Kisho Kurokawa, Andrew Grassie, Mariko Mori, Brian Cyril Griffiths, Fergal Stapleton, Anthony Dunne and Flona Raby, Aleksej Iskos, LOT/EK, Martin Ruiz de Azua, Monica Forster, Softroom, Ushida Findlay.
